Is there a reason why IE wont apply styles on table cells? Either I
shouldn't do this, I've got an error somewhere, or IE has a bug or
doesn't support it. (Opera and Moz render okay)

Since I've Googled for a few hours and looked this up on a number of
CSS sites and found nothing, I assume I have an error. Note that when
I embed the styles into the head I see the same result. Here's the
page: http://harbell.net/elcanco/order.html

Any suggestions?
TIA

YOU can apply styles on table cells.
Only styles are not INHERITED into a table.

<style>
body {font-size:200%;}
TD {color:green;}
..smalltr td {font-size:80%;}
</style>
this is 200%
<table>
<tr class="smalltr"><td>smallgreen80%</td><td>smallgreen80%</td></tr>
<tr><td>green100%</td><td>green100%</td></tr>
</table>

UL LI {
color: #660000";
}

See that stray double quote?

Everything after that is being ignored.

The CSS Validator tried, in its own way, to tell you this:

Now all you need to do is clean up the rest of the code (get rid of
the remaining presentational HTML, the spacer gifs, etc., etc.). ;-)

THANKS STEVE! That was it! Since Opera and Moz ignored the error, I
thought it might be incompatability problem, but I humbly regress :)
